We review Jurys Rewards – is the Jurys Inn reward scheme any good?

The Jurys Rewards scheme received a revamp in 2015 with a new range of reward offers. We thought it was time to take another look.
The Jurys Inn chain received a boost four years ago when eight ex-Thistle properties joined its ranks. This took the chain to around 35 properties across the UK. It reversed a period of shrinkage as a number of the bigger hotels were converted to Hilton, eg the Hilton Garden Inn at Hatton Cross outside Heathrow and the DoubleTree at Chelsea Creek in West London.
What is interesting about the Jurys scheme is that it is heavily focussed on ‘in hotel’ rewards, letting you use your points for little things that will make your stay more enjoyable. It is potentially a way for business travellers to order items which would otherwise be blocked by their travel policy such as ordering a bottle of wine with dinner.
You earn 10 points for every £1 or €1 spent.
The reward chart offers the following items:
- Early check-in or late check-out – 100 points
- Breakfast – 1,000 points per person
- £10 credit towards your bill – 1,800 points
- £20 credit towards your bill – 3,600 points
- Bottle of house wine – 2,000 points
- 2-course dinner – 2,500 points per person
- 3-course dinner – 3,000 points per person
High Street shopping vouchers or Jurys Inn vouchers are also available:
- £20 – 3,600 points
- £50 – 9,500 points
- £100 – 18,000 points
For 900 points you can donate £5 to Depaul, a charity helping people affected by homelessness.
You can also redeem for free nights. Jurys Inn is the only chain I know which lets you redeem for ‘dinner, bed and breakfast’ packages if you want. Rates start from 5,900 points for ‘room only’ at their cheapest hotels to 16,900 points for ‘dinner, bed and breakfast’ at their most expensive. Room only at Hilton Garden Inn and DoubleTrees are 14,900 points.
You are earning a little over 5% back which is not a bad return. Note that, as with most chains, you only earn points for rooms booked directly with the company. In terms of free nights, you should receive a free night at their cheapest hotels for every 5-6 nights you buy.
Tier benefits
Jurys has three different tiers. You join on Floor 1, Floor 2 requires 5-20 nights and Floor 3 requires 20+ nights in a year.
Floor 1 receive free wi-fi so it is worth signing up just to get this. Floor 2 and Floor 3 is more interesting – you are upgraded to a ‘superior room package’ which gets you early check-in, late check-out, free mineral water, biscuits, a newspaper, and 10% off your lunch or dinner spend. You also get a free Costa voucher and, at Floor 3, a voucher for a free drink.
This sounds like a very reasonable package as long as it is delivered consistently by the hotels, given that you only need five nights to reach Floor 2.
Neither of us has stayed in a Jurys Inn for a long time, so if you have any feedback on Jurys Rewards please post it below.
